Abstract text

The present invention is based on the idea to allocate HS-DSCH power at TTI based on the HS-SCCH allocation of TTI and an estimation of the HS-SCCH allocation of TTI+1. The estimation of the HS-SCCH allocation of TTI+1 is based on estimation of which users that will be scheduled at the time denoted TTI+1. i.e., the users that have a high probability to be selected for transmission by the scheduler at the time denoted TTI+1 are determined. That is performed by calculating for each user the probability that the user will be selected for transmission by the scheduler The users that have a high probability to be scheduled at the time TTI+1 are included in a candidate set according to the
